Parliament discusses web trolls

A woman from Staffordshire who was targeted by internet trolls after her 16-year-old son died in a moped accident, was angry after her tormentor received just a caution by police. But she is pleased her case has now been raised in parliament.

A 21-year-old has been cautioned for internet trolling and cannot be named.

However, the MP for Burton, Andrew Griffiths, is questioning whether the punishment for internet trolls is strong enough after the abuse of a mother whose son died in a moped crash in this particular case.
